Birthday card with Whisky Business from Stampin' Up!

An Old Fashioned Card Using Whiskey Business

September 12, 2020|Posted in: Creativity

As you can see from the card photo, my blog title is a play on words as the card sentiment is “sending you an old-fashioned birthday card.” But I think the design of this card, using the Whiskey Business stamp set, is rather old-fashioned.

There was a time when everyone used black mats for all their images. I didn’t do that a lot because it often struck me as being too heavy for a lot of images. However, I think it works perfectly for this card. It helps with the linear design and works with the dark background and over all tone.

Actually, this card just evokes an old-fashioned sensibility to me. I love historical fiction (books and movies) and I can imagine the men withdrawing from dinner to have cigars and whiskey. Then again, maybe its just the wood paneled background!
